The purpose of this study is to expose the marginality faced by Maya migrants in the United States and the hardships caused by their undocumented status. The focus is on Guatemala Maya migration primarily from Guatemala (the sending nation) to South Florida (the receiving region). In the first half of this study the unique situation of Maya migrants is elaborated upon, demonstrating the challenges faced when these two social limitations, indigenous and undocumented are present for migrants. In the second half, a third marginality is exposed; that of being an undocumented Maya woman. A brief history of Maya in Guatemala, including present conditions in the nation in addition to reasons for migration leading to Maya life both in South Florida is presented. The paper uncovers some of the resource options that are available for undocumented migrants and calls for further research to the affect of migration on Maya women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
